16: Jayne Hat

This was a Christmas present for my husband who loves Firefly. In fact, we both love Firefly. I remember watching it for the first time with him in his flat when I was in first year at Uni and loving it straight away. We can both recite the Hero of Canton by heart all these years later! The hat wasn’t really a surprise because I had to size it to him as I went (he has a pretty big head) but I thoroughly enjoyed it and he loves it still. It was also a good way to channel my stress as I was just reaching my dissertation deadline and suffering a lot of anxiety. I crocheted it rather than knitting it because I couldn’t find decent chunky yarn and I was also a coward and scared of adding earflaps to a knit hat because I didn’t know how to do it. I’m a bit of a scaredy cat still when it comes to unknown knitting techniques!
